OneDrive Files on-demand
Hello, I was wondering if anyone has some insight around OneDrive files on-demand. I found that clicking the button to free up space works just fine and all of my items switch to cloud unless I am accessing something, however, when I try to implement this via group policy, I can see the policy is being pushed because the files on-demand section of settings is now grayed out but it is not uploading everything to cloud. In fact, nothing seems to change like it does when I was able to click the button. We have tried this on multiple computers and get the same results. No GPO and the button works fine, with GPO, it's grayed out but doing nothing. Am I missing something with the GPO to force that upload to cloud? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!DataDay 2025 Bogotá: Connecting Ideas, Creating Opportunities

Long Date Format Text Wrapping
I need my dates to be in the long date format: Monday, December 8, 2025 However, I also want that text to wrap. I do not want an really wide column for that date. I would like it to wrap at whatever point it wrap at when I adjust the column width. Simply choosing "wrap text" in the alignment section does not work. Any column width shorter than the amount of space needed for the entire date turns the date in that cell to pound signs. Heck, I'd be happy if I could even just shorten the column width and see only the beginning of the date. Though I would prefer it just adjusting like it does in every other column. I have tried work arounds like a custom date format where you force the second line to be part of the date - which it will do but the column width still must be as long as if it were in one long line or it still goes to pound signs. Is there a workaround that I can't find? Is this something that Microsoft could work on fixing in an upcoming app update? Because I have been suffering through this problem for years and would love for it to be fixed. (Also - I do not want to change the column to "text" - I want to be able to type in 12/9 and have it automatically change to Tuesday, December 9, 2025 for me. I am often changing dates or inserting dates and need it to be dynamic and not manually entered each time. (Thus the whole point of having the date format to begin with.)
Windows 11 Crashing often
I have an ASUS Zenbook Q536FD running Windows 11 Home 10.0.26200 Build 2600. It started off crashing every one or two hours, now it crashes right after I login. I checked the RAM using mdsched.exe and it didn't find anything. Mini dumps are here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1MCqVfXnbiDBus6mCKZR-RtCedLOh6ddj?usp=drive_link It doesn't seem to crash in safe mordee. What else do I need to try?
Finding Windows applications/softwares to monitor changes to a directory on remote computers
Hello everyone, I would like to find some Windows applications/softwares to monitor changes to a directory on remote computers, which consist of: A client program that runs on the machines to be monitored. A server program that runs on the monitoring machine. * Detailed description: Client program: connects to and exchanges information with the server. Server program: Manages the list of clients. Selects which client to monitor and selects the directory on the client machine to monitor. All changes to this directory (deleting/adding subdirectories, deleting/adding/modifying the contents of files within the directory) must be reported to the user (on the server). Must be able to monitor multiple clients simultaneously (each client monitors only one directory). Graphical user interface. Thank you very much.
